Tech ace calls out hedge fund boss for 'buying' Trump
Magerman says Mercer making America an 'oligarchy'
by Joseph N. DiStefano
David M. Magerman, the Merion Station-based computer scientist suspended by hedge fund Renaissance Technologies Corp. last week after criticizing co-CEO Robert Mercer's role in the Trump presidency in a Wall Street Journal interview, hasn't heard back yet from his 20-year employer on whether he still has a job.
So Magerman said Wednesday he wanted to use his "15 minutes" of fame "to clarify my message" — that actions like Mercer's move the U.S. away from democracy and toward "oligarchy."
Despite political differences, Magerman said, "I fully support [Mercer's] desire to engage in conversations about his views, financially support like-minded politicians, and speak out in support of political actions that further his goals." Personal involvement in political causes is important to democracy, he added.
"However, there is a difference between giving someone money to support their views, on the one hand, and investing in someone in a contractually binding way to see that the politician's views and actions are supplanted by the donor's," Magerman added.
"Robert Mercer hasn't invested in Donald Trump because he believes in Trump's campaign platform," he noted, pointing out that Mercer first donated to Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), who "is far more aligned with Mercer's worldview" than Trump.
"So, what did Mercer's investment in Trump amount to? He was effectively buying shares in the candidate, and Robert Mercer now owns a sizable share of the United States presidency."
Magerman noted that Trump's political adviser Stephen Bannon joined Trump after heading Breitbart News, "of which Mercer owns a significant percentage." Trump aide Kellyanne Conway "came from Mercer's circle of political foundations." Mercer's daughter Rebekah "represented [Mercer's] interests and his worldview with her presence on the transition committee and her close relationship with Bannon and Conway.
"Mercer also has insisted that Trump use his company Cambridge Analytica, which uses its statistical models of voter psychology to get unpopular initiatives, such as electing Donald Trump, through the electorate.
"Mercer has surrounded our president with his people, and his people have an outsized influence over the running of our country, simply because Robert Mercer paid for their seats."
For Magerman, that makes Mercer "an extreme example of modern entrepreneurial philanthropy," in which donors to "causes, political, religious, and social, do not think of their donations as gifts," but as "investments that carry the entitlement to influence decision-making, hiring, and mission.
"I know this because up until recently I was one of those donors. I tried to buy influence in the schools in my community, in my synagogue, and in other communal institutions." Philadelphia Magazine and the Jewish Exponent have chronicled the impact of Magerman's giving to local Jewish schools, including one he started, the pushback that sometimes followed, and Magerman's disappointment at the complications.
"These investments all failed for one key reason: communal institutions are not for sale, and you should not be able to buy stock in them," Magerman said. "They should serve their community, not their donors. When communal organizations, or governments, allow their donors to subvert their missions, they inevitably betray their missions, as our government is betraying us now.
"I have learned this lesson, and it is time for Robert Mercer and the rest of the 0.001 percenters to learn it, too," he concluded. Or else "America will cease to be a democracy for 300 million people, and instead will be an oligarchy for 3,000."

The G7, the UN, and Afghanistan's Future
By Jeffrey Sachs | August 23, 2021
This week, G7 leaders will convene to discuss Afghanistan. It's crucial that the G7 leaders think clearly about the important objectives for Afghanistan in order to avoid adding yet another cycle of misery, bloodshed, and mass refugee flows.
Above all, they should use the meeting merely to coordinate policies among the seven countries in preparation for actions by the far more important venue, the United Nations Security Council. Without China and Russia at the table, there is no possibility of a coherent international approach to Afghanistan.
With this in mind, the G7 should aim to engage with Afghanistan under the Taliban, not isolate or starve the country. This is important not only as a short-run tactic to help get Westerners and vulnerable Afghans out of the country peacefully, but also to avoid future bloodbaths, humanitarian crises, and refugee surges. As tempting as it will be for the United States and its G7 allies to put a long-term hold on Afghanistan's foreign-exchange reserves, freeze development aid, and intensify US (and possibly UN) sanctions, such an approach is doomed to fail, just as predictably as the 20-year NATO mission has just failed.
The US knows a lot about punishing other countries, but it doesn't know much – or perhaps care much – about fixing them. Many in the US political class are loudly calling for punishment of the Taliban. After all, the US has been deeply humiliated. But the rest of the G7, and the rest of the world, should reject calls for revenge from the same US politicians and strategists who did so much to get the US and NATO into this 40-year mess (US intervention in Afghanistan, we must remember, started in 1979, not 2001). These are the people who championed the initial US support for the mujahideen, which later became the Taliban and al-Qaeda. These are the people who favored the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. And these are the people who believed that a troop surge in the early Obama years would do the trick.
These people should be ignored. If the Taliban refrains from vengeance killings against its foes or a brutal crackdown on women and girls, the G7 countries, the UN agencies, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) should be ready to continue, and indeed to increase, financial support to Afghanistan.
Tikkun needs your support to bring the kind of analyses and information we provide.

Yes, the US right will scream and label President Joe Biden a traitor. But the US right detests all foreign assistance, which is why the US has been incapable of helping poor countries to stabilize. The right wants to conquer countries, not help them to develop.
There is more that the G7 should do. First, it should commission an independent study of why its development program during 2001-20 did not help Afghanistan to stabilize and improve sufficiently to enable the government and its military forces to resist the Taliban's reconquest of the country. (Hint: Look at the lopsided spending on security rather than development; the chronically inadequate funding of social programs and infrastructure; the disjointed approach lacking an overarching strategy; the corruption among US contractors, not just Afghans; and the lack of clear and ambitious sustainable development benchmarks and targets.)
Second, the G7 should call on the UN Security Council to integrate economic and sustainable development thinking into its future actions and planning vis-à-vis Afghanistan, with regular reporting from UN officials in Afghanistan. The Security Council should learn quarterly whether children, including girls, are in school (with supplies and teachers for them); whether clinics are functioning; whether villages have access to water and electricity; whether mothers can obtain neonatal and obstetrical care; whether there is enough food to eat; and, finally, whether there are sufficient development funds to cover these essential needs.
Such benchmarks are all part of the Sustainable Development Goals, and the SDGs should apply to a Taliban-led government in Afghanistan just as they should have applied to the NATO-backed government.
Unfortunately, it was the NATO mission that didn't take the SDGs seriously. In 2019, for example, the total donor aid to Afghanistan for educational programs came to a measly $312 million (see data here), or a meager $20 per child for Afghanistan's 15 million school-aged children (ages 5-19). By contrast, the US spent around $1 million per year per soldier for the thousands of US soldiers in Afghanistan.
Of that paltry sum given for education, none of the aid was channeled through the government budget. Instead, it came in the form of projects implemented directly by NGOs and other outsiders. It's not surprising that the Afghan people thought very little of their government. It was playing no role in educating their children (or in other core social functions), and the donors were not helping the government to play any consequential role other than providing security.
Some US politicians will probably be tempted to support new insurgent groups to fight the Taliban, ostensibly as a way to pressure the Taliban at the negotiating table. This is a typical US recipe, but it invariably leads to open-ended warfare. Fortunately, the US probably lacks the logistical means to support an insurgency, and it's very hard to see China or Russia favoring such a naive approach.
Barring support for insurgents, the US and even the G7 will be tempted to refuse to recognize any Taliban-led government, denying that it has legitimacy. Such a move would then be used as a legal basis to continue to freeze Afghanistan's foreign-exchange reserves at the US Federal Reserve, and to put a hold on any new financing for Afghanistan from the IMF, World Bank, and the ADB. The US and its allies would thereby foment a deeper economic and humanitarian crisis. But to what end? Even crippling US sanctions rarely dislodge governments, and are very unlikely to do so in Afghanistan, just as they have failed to do so in recent years in Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela.
The G7's leaders should be clear about the core goals in Afghanistan: extricate their nationals and Afghan partners, and then work constructively with China, Russia, and other interested countries to end Afghanistan's 40-year downward spiral that the US helped to initiate back in 1979. Enough of destruction. It is time to build.

Hey! An article from Jeffrey Sachs that actually makes sense…. Well done. He eschews hard shock strategies for actually listening to others.
Elena Christian on August 24, 2021 at 8:18 am said:
This is among the saner takes on Afghanistan I've come across so far. We labeled the Afghan army "cowards" for not fighting–but we negotiated the complete surrender to the Taliban. Why should any Afghan soldier fire a shot for a US backed government that had done nothing but betray them into the hands of the enemy? We sneer at their "Stone Age" thinking, and conveniently forget we are responsible for the collapse of the modern, progressive culture Afghans knew up to the 70s. We own this mess, lock, stock and smoking barrel.

If only those who make humanity-impacting decisions could read, comprehend and take appropriate action on implementing & monitoring SDGs, and Sachs' other points, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, our world could be gradually transformed into a much more equitable and livable environment, for everyone.

Today, I attended a small conference in the city of Gwangju, which is in the south west of Korea. One of the talks I got the chance to see was by Hyeong Jun Chae on Moving Learning Forward in the Korean EFL classroom. I've known Hyeong Jun, who is an elementary school teacher at a school near Daegu, for a while after meeting at the monthly reflective practice group we both attend. This was, however, the first time I got to see Hyeong Jun present.
His talk drew on Vygotsky's ZPD, and was about helping his students move from what they can do now, through the what they can do with help (ZPD) to reach their potential. Hyeong Jun is a proponent of using graphic organizers in class, and recently wrote a magazine article on his experiences with them, which I'd like to share with you, but unfortunately the digital copy of the magazine is not available online yet. For anyone in Korea, who may have access to it, it was the Winter 2014 edition of TEC.
During Hyeong Jun's talk, he mentioned KWL charts. You can search Google to find lots of different examples and posts about them (or have a look here for an example). But essentially a KWL chart is a simple three-column chart with the headings know, want to know, learned. Students complete the know and want to know columns before doing an activity, such as a listening, and then afterwards complete the learned section with new information that they've found out. I use this type of activity a bit in my classes, especially when reading news articles, although it normally takes place as more of an informal chat after reading the headline, but before reading the text.
However, during Hyeong Jun's talk today, he suggested a modified version of the KWL chart, which I'd not seen before. It was a KWHL chart. The additional 'H' stands for how, as in 'How can we find out what we want to learn?' This was not something that I'd thought about before, but searching Google, it appears that it often comes up in discussions of KWL charts.
I've obviously not used KHWL charts yet, but I do really like the idea of introducing the how section when asking students to research a new topic. It puts the control more in their hands, and lets them take more responsibility for their learning. The how section encourages them to plan their learning more effectively by thinking about the resources they will use to find out the information they want to know. I think it's also a helpful reminder for teachers because often I'll take something in to class, a reading perhaps, and expect students to read it. But what if (as the case often is) one of the things that the students want to find out is not covered in the text? Surely, from the students' point of view, the whole exercise of discussing what they want to find out it pointless then, if they're not actually going to go and find out.
I'll reserve judgement for how well the additional how column works for now, until I have a chance to try it, but it's something I can see as being useful, and I'll be particularly interested in seeing what ideas the students come up with that perhaps I hadn't thought about before.
Thank you for this post: I love KWL charts and have used them on courses for teachers in Korea. I have never tried the 'How' part and agree that it is a good step towards more autonomy for the learners (or the learning teachers) I am wondering if using the 'How' part can be either 'how I will find out' or 'How can/could I find out' (to avoid a potentially defensive 'I don't know' in reply) Would be great to read about how your experiment goes with the language students!
Keep this great blog – learning a lot together with you!
Hi Zhenya, thanks for your comment. I think the idea of the 'How could/can I' sounds like it would open up a lot more suggestions from students, and I think that's something that I might like to give a go. I have a class tomorrow that I could use this with, so I'm hoping to give it a go then. I'm just hoping that the students don't get put off by the sudden change in routine, it might take a bit of time getting used to.
Zhenya, I was happy to find your comment here because as I was reading, I was thinking about our recent discussion about "knowledge" vs "awareness". I started visualizing ways to use this KWHL chart as a kind of course feedback-loop of sorts. So instead of using the chart with a reading, they would use it with certain goals set forth in the course. This helps me learn what they know already about that goal, what they want to know, how they might enjoy learning about it, and finally, what did they learn.
Hi Josette, thanks for the comment and for reading. I love how you are able to see this and adapt it for what you do! And I too am thankful to Hyeong Jun for sharing it.

Particle Characterization Solutions for Appearance and Structure Assessment of Lyophilized Biopharmaceutical Compounds
Sponsored by Micromeritics Instrument CorporationNov 6 2015
Lyophilized products are becoming more significant in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. Lyophilization technologies and manufacturing processes are being increasingly used by pharmaceutical companies to produce a final dosage form that has improved stability, a longer shelf life and fewer limitations on storage and transportation.
According to reports, biopharmaceuticals account for 40% or more of the R&D and revenue of the pharmaceutical industry. It is necessary to lyophilize approximately 60% of biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, enzymes, and monoclonal antibodies in order to improve their stability for ready-to-use solution dosage forms. To determine the integrity of biopharmaceutical lyophilized cakes Micromeritics offers a number of tools, such as the TriStar II Surface Area Analyzer, AccuPyc II 1340 Gas Displacement Pycnometer, and the AutoPore® IV Mercury Porosimeter.
Significance of Characterization of Lyophilized Biopharmaceutical Compounds
During production it is essential to closely control the structure of the cake, including its surface area, pore size, total pore volume and density. The lyophilized cake's physical and chemical properties will be affected by changes in production conditions including primary drying temperature, secondary drying temperature and freeze temperature.
The release or approval of a batch is based on three characteristics: appearance, surface area and thermal properties. Visual inspection as well as more quantitative analysis of lyophilized cakes can be performed with BET surface area analysis, gas pycnometry and mercury intrusion porosimetry.
BET Surface Area Analysis
Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry
Mercury intrusion porosimetry is capable of providing data on the internal cake structure. The cake's integrity and its reconstitution properties are directly influenced by total pore volume and pore size distribution. The degree of shrinkage of the cake during freeze-drying and therefore the dried cake's final pore size can be determined from the correlation of pore size to surface area data.
Micromeritics' Particle Characterization Solutions
Micromeritics' TriStar II
Micromeritics' TriStar II (Figure 1) is a fully automated, three-station analyzer using static gas adsorption, an established technique. The analyzer can increase both the efficiency and speed of quality control analyses with the right resolution, accuracy and data reduction features to satisfy most R&D and manufacturing requirements. BET surface area data provided by the TriStar II can be used to determine the effect of freeze-drying variations and improve process control steps to avoid cake collapse.

Micromeritics' AutoPore IV Mercury Porosimeter
Micromeritics' AutoPore IV mercury porosimeter (Figure 2) determines density, percent porosity, pore size distribution, total pore volume and compaction/compression using mercury intrusion and extrusion. Extremely high-resolution data is acquired by the instrument. To improve sample throughput it is possible to equip the analyzer with either one high-pressure station and two low-pressure stations or two high-pressure stations and four low-pressure stations.

Constructed on top of wooden pilings just feet above the mighty waters of the Piscataqua River on U.S. Route 1 in Kittery, Maine, is Warren's Lobster House.
Warren's was established in 1940 by Warren "Pete" Wurm. When Warren's opened it was a tiny six-stool lobster stand.
Today Warren's is a 350-seat restaurant that houses a full-service bakery, a lobster pound capable of holding thousands of pounds of the delicious crustaceans, the Captain's Treasure Chest Gift Shop, the Lobster Trap Lounge, Pete's Stateline Sweets Candy Store, the Seacoast's Finest Salad Bar, and a full-service, open-air deck. Warren's has come a long way from that tiny, six-stool lobster stand in the days of 25-cent per pound lobster.
Longevity in the restaurant business is very unusual. A decade of food and service is deserving of celebration and rejoicing as you have achieved the improbable. Warren's Lobster House opened in 1940 and for more than three quarters of a century has overcome the odds and continued to consistently serve delicious meals to millions of wonderful patrons! Over the years we have made many carefully researched alterations to Warren's, but many things are still the same — and always will be!
Upon arriving, you hear the familiar cry of sea gulls welcoming you to the Seacoast, and the clanging of lines on the masts of sailboats anchored in the river. The landmark sign still towers high above you. The 30-pound lobster still adorns the wall above the bar window, as does the giant latch-hook rug resembling Warren's, and the showcase highlighting more than 50 types of fisherman's knots. And our menu still features the popular old classics, though many also appreciate the subtle new items we have added.
As many businesses expand, they often lose touch with the quality and small, personal touches that made them special. At Warren's we don't believe that has ever happened, nor will it! We have made a commitment to serve only the highest quality foods in the most appetizing and professional manner possible. We look forward to seeing you again and again.

Digital radio tunes into 10 million sales mark
By Marc Chacksfield 2009-11-30T14:35:00.333Z
But sales are dropping year on year
Digital Radio proving very popular
The DRDB (Digital Radio Development Bureau) is reporting that sales of digital radios have hit the 10 million mark, with 5 million of those devices sold after 2007.
Digital radio manufacturers seem to be laughing in the face of the recession at the moment, with sales of the devices outperforming the rest of the consumer electronic market both in 2008 and 2009.
The industry has seen a 12 per cent increase in home audio systems being sold and a whopping 60 per cent increase in digital radios for the car. The market is now said to be worth around £170 million a year in the UK.
Delivering firsts
One manufacturer who seems to be reaping the benefits of the digital audio upturn is Pure, who has announced that it has sold three million units worldwide.
Being that it's a British company this is great news for the UK, with Paul Smith, General Manager at Pure explaining: "Pure has consistently delivered firsts in the digital radio market. We were the first manufacturer to sell half a million digital radios, then one million, and now we're the first to sell three million.
"We'd like to take this opportunity to thank the thousands of retail stores that stock Pure radios and, of course, all Pure radio owners. Pure's drive in the growing digital radio market continues with an ongoing strong roadmap for 2010 and beyond."
Digital disappointment
Not everybody is happy with Scott Taunton, UTV Media (GB), Managing Director, pointing out that despite the 10 million sales mark reach, DAB digital radio sales are in decline, with a mere 1.3 million sets sold this year, compared to 2.2 million sold last year.
"Today's disappointing DAB sales announcement is a resounding 'no' vote for the government's proposal to switch off analogue signals in 2015," explained Taunton.
"While cumulative sales of 10m digital sets prove that DAB is here to stay, there are 120 million analogue radios currently in circulation in the UK. At this rate of sales, it would take up to 60 years to convert them all to digital."

Ignaz Semmelweis, MD (1818- 1865). Born in Budapest as Ign?c F?l?p Semmelweis, he started his university studies as a lawyer, but changed to Medicine and in 1844, at the age of 26, attained his MD degree. in 1847 he was appointed as an assistant in Obstetrics, almost at the same time of the death of a friend (Kolletschka, a pathologist) who died of what appeared to be "puerperal fever", also known as "childbed fever" after being accidentally stabbed by a knife during the autopsy of a female who had died of that disease. Semmelweis reasoned that the disease somehow was transmitted via the wound and started a crusade to have surgeons and students clean their hands with a carbolized solution before examining a healthy pregnant woman.
Although the obstetric wards under his care reduced the rate of this disease to almost nothing, Semmelweis endured criticism from his teachers, colleagues, and peers, and he did not make any friends by calling "murderers" those who did not follow his ideas. murderers". An excerpt of a letter to one of this detractors reads: "I denounce you before God and the world as a murderer and the history of puerperal fever will not do you an injustice when for the service of having been the first to oppose my life-saving technique it perpetuates your name as a medical Nero". He did not publish his findings until later in life, and then received even more criticism.
In 1865 was committed to an mental asylum only to die a few days later. He was only 47 years old. The same year he died Joseph Lister performed the first operations using antiseptic technique.

Keith from North York I had a granite breakfast bar but wanted to match the rest of the countertop to match.

Gert Swillens was born in Halle in 1968 and studied Image-Sound-Editing at the RITCS (School of Arts) in Brussels. He has been working as a cameraman for the VRT (the Flemish Radio and Television Broadcasting Organization) since 1993.
About 5 years ago, he suddenly became truly inspired by photography. Despite the gained experience as a cameraman, a completely new creative world was opening up to him. His self-taught discovery came through autodidactic books, online tutorials, workshops, etc… Most times Gert feels rather like an observer than a true photographer. Hence his true passion for everyday people in street photography (as well as concert and event photography and portraits). He often feels the urge to share what he sees and feels, through his eyes and through his photos. His shoots are never planned, but more like chance encounters.

Housing First is an evidence-based approach to reducing chronic and episodic homelessness whereby people are supported in finding and maintaining housing as a first and foundational step in addressing the factors that have led to homelessness. In recent years, Housing First has emerged as a key response to homelessness in many parts of the world including the United States, Europe and across Canada.
SSICS operates the Housing First program on Salt Spring Island, funded by the Homeless Partnering Strategy federal funding through Employment and Social Development Canada and is the lead agency in the Salt Spring Island Housing First Coalition which includes other local stakeholders in developing and implementing the Salt Spring Island Community Plan to End Homelessness.
Housing First is a recovery-oriented approach to homelessness that involves moving people who experience homelessness into independent and permanent housing as quickly as possible, with no preconditions, and then providing them with additional services and supports as needed.
The underlying principle of Housing First is that people are more successful in moving forward with their lives if they are first housed. Housing is not contingent upon readiness, or on 'compliance' (for instance, sobriety). Rather, it is a rights-based intervention rooted in the philosophy that all people deserve housing, and that adequate housing is a precondition for recovery.
The model advocates an approach to provide housing first, and then combine that housing with supportive treatment services in the areas of mental and physical health, substance abuse, education, and employment.
The approach has been shown to be more effective and more cost-effective for communities combatting homelessness as supported and subsidized housing can cost substantially less than the emergency room, emergency services and other loads on the system of homelessness.

May 19, 2009 marks the 100th anniversary of the debut performance of Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Dance Collection Danse is celebrating this occasion with a gallery of images from our archives that relate to Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and the subsequent Ballets Russes companies that followed with their own debuts in the 1930s.
The Ballets Russes performance at the Théâtre du Chatelet in Paris on May 19, 1909 triggered the beginnings of a revolution in ballet that has coloured how the art form is staged today. That night, a century ago, Diaghilev presented the work of choreographer Michel Fokine who sought radical reforms in ballet after years of artistic stagnation at the Russian Imperial theatres. Among his reforms, Fokine felt that the movement, designs and costumes should reflect the theme and period of the ballet, and that the collaborations between choreographers, designers and composers should result in aesthetic unity. Over the decades, choreographers such as Fokine, Vaslav Nijinsky, Bronislava Nijinska, Leonide Massine and George Balanchine collaborated with other great artists including visual artists Alexandre Benois, Leon Bakst, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Salvador Dali, and composers Igor Stravinsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Nikolai Tcherepnin, Sergei Prokofiev and Claude Debussy. These artists shook the foundation of ballet around the world. After Diaghilev died in 1929, other Ballets Russes companies were initiated by impresarios Col. Wassily de Basil and René Blum.
The influence of the Ballets Russes companies would not go unnoticed in Canada. Gweneth Lloyd, co-founder of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, based her own programming formula on that of Diaghilev offering a mixed repertoire of white or romantic ballets with abstract and comic ballets. While Diaghilev's company only visited Canada once (Vancouver 1917), other Ballets Russes companies toured frequently throughout Canada and occasionally left with Canadian dancers in tow. Many of those dancers came from June Roper's school in Vancouver, British Columbia, such as Rosemary Deveson (Natasha Sobinova), Patricia Meyers (Alexandra Denisova) and Audree Thomas (Anna Istomina).
Various portfolios in the DCD archives contain Ballets Russes programs, photographs, newspaper and magazine clippings, and flyers. The Rosemary Deveson portfolio includes the letters she wrote to her parents while touring with de Basil's Ballets Russes and provide great insight into the intrigues, politics and exhausting work of being a Ballets Russes dancer. DCD also houses over 100 drawings of Ballets Russes dancers by Canadian artist Grant Macdonald.

Staunton, November 5 – The government of Ingushetia attempted to organize a mass meeting in Nazaran in support of Yunus-Bek Yevkurov on Russia's Day of National Unity by forcing students and bureaucrats to attend, Magomed Mutsolgov says. But the effort came up short: few showed up, and Yevkurov's opponents picketed to protest the border accord.
"Almost half of those assembled [for the pro-Yevkurov] meeting were interior ministry employees, the body guards of the republic head, and other representatives of the force structures, both in uniform and not," the rights activist and anti-border agreement leader said (kavkaz-uzel.eu/blogs/342/posts/35194).
Mutsogolov added that "an absolute majority" of those who were present told activists in the course of an informal poll that they were against changing the border with Chechnya but couldn't say so publicly because they would be at risk of losing their jobs or even more punishments.
Yevkurov and other officials spoke to those assembled in defense of the agreement. They did not allow anyone who opposed the accord to speak. Applause was sparse among the few hundred who showed up; and after the speeches, the relatively few people who had come to the main square dispersed (kavkaz-uzel.eu/articles/327522/).
Meanwhile, opponents of the border agreement held up posters. They were approached by the police and told to put the posters away. One opponent said that many Ingush would have come to a meeting on the Day of National Unity had it been a real one and not a PR-action in support of Yevkurov and the border accord.
· Members of the Nagiliyev taip said that the man shown on Chechen television as having come to Grozny to praise Ramzan Kadyrov and the border agreement was not authorized to speak on behalf of the clan. He was speaking only for himself, and he may not even have been the person Grozny journalists said he was (kavkaz-uzel.eu/articles/327562/).
· Chechen officials denied that their actions had in any way posed a threat to the Erzi nature reserve. They insisted that all environmental rules were being followed and that development of the area would proceed (kavkaz-uzel.eu/articles/327558/).
· Dzhambulat Umarov, the Chechen minister for nationality policy, foreign relations, media relations and information, told France-24 television that "Ramzan Kadyrov doesn't need any Ingush land, Ingush oil or even more Ingush villages." The Ingush people can look after all these things themselves (chechnyatoday.com/news/320852).

the splitter i bought a couple of months ago has been pretty handy recently. it's a great "device" for sharing purposes. it's virgin use was on g's mp3 when she wanted to share the "precious love" song with me. anyways, been back to my 2nd home these days to do up my notes. just two days for now so i guess i can't really tell if i've been productive or not. counting down, exactly 2 weeks to my 1st paper and i'm nowhere near prepared. oh well..
part of the food stocked up on Monday. we stock up even more junkies and snacks today. that's when i get fat during mugging sessions. not like we live on just all these.. we DO eat lunch too. and i've been on my 2nd consecutive portion of fried rice for this week. to think i thought this sinful eating only happens at my 3rd home. OH WELL..
caught the show on my qvod with buddy with the SPLITTER before we headed for home yesterday after feeling we done enough work. heh. it's actually pretty nice; the storyline, effects and all. but there were parts i just can't stop jumping about.
and i wonder if it'll hurt lesser to go through things that you already see coming. like, would you already be mentally prepared for it because you were expecting it to happen? or would it just hurt more because it means your predictions, good or bad, are just so true? covering up.. sometimes it feels like a lie is started. then, more lies are crafted and used to cover up for the very first one. and like a vicious cycle, it just goes on.. eventually, the lies get snowballed to the extent that in the end, the truth is nowhere to be seen anymore. interestingly, i could be guilty of that..


Planned Hulu series follows H.H. Holmes. He murdered a child in Irvington.
Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio team up for Hulu series on H.H. Holmes. Most of his murders were in Chicago, but one was in Indianapolis.
With the 1895 Chicago World's Fair as the backdrop, Erik Larson's chilling bestselling nonfiction thriller "Devil in the White City" tells the intersecting true story of Daniel H. Burnham, an architect ready to make his mark on the world and Henry H. Holmes, a handsome young doctor with his own "Murder Castle." Plans have been in the works for several years for a movie adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
During the Television Critics Association Press Tour, Hulu officials announced Monday, they are developing a television series with DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese and Paramount Television. One of the murders committed by Holmes was in Indianapolis.
Dr. H.H. Holmes was the alias used by Herman Webster Mudgett, who is believed to have murdered as many as 200 people from 1886 until his capture in 1894.
When investigators searched Holmes' castle, they found a nightmarish conglomeration of secret panels and staircases, operating and torture rooms as a big stove where the remnants of bleached bones of human victims were found.
The Holmes House:A night where Holmes murdered and dismembered.
Holmes did most of his work in Chicago, but when police began closing in, Holmes fled to Indianapolis and lived for a brief time in Irvington in a rented cottage in the 5800 block of Julian Avenue.
It was there that he did in young Howard Pitezel, the son of the man who constructed his castle, Benjamin Pitezel, whom Holmes had killed while in Philadelphia. Holmes had taken Pitezel's two daughters, murdered and buried them in a home in Toronto, Canada. But where was eight-year-old Howard Pitezel? Detectives tracked Holmes to the Irvington neighborhood.
After watching Philadelphia detective Frank Geyer search the Irvington cottage, three neighborhood boys, George Brown, Oscar Kettebach and Walter Jenney began an investigation of their own. After poking into the chimney flue, the boys raked out ashes, teeth and bits of bone. Finding the remains wrapped up the case and Holmes was arrested in Boston.
During the murder trial in Philadelphia, one of Holmes former wives, Georgia Yoke of Franklin, Indiana, testified she could not account for his whereabouts on the day of the murder. During his trial for the murder of Benjamin Pitezel, Holmes confessed to other killings.
On May 7, 1896, news accounts report Holmes walked nonchalantly to the gallows at Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia, offered a caution to the hangman, "Don't bungle." Holmes was so well-known, his execution rated a detailed, front-page story in The New York Times — "The neck was not broken," the Times felt compelled to report, "and there were a few convulsive twitches of the limbs that continued for about 10 minutes."

The Meat Market
By Alexander T. Tabarrok
Also published in Wall Street Journal « Show Fewer
In a race to prevent thousands of needless deaths a year, countries from Singapore to Israel are launching innovative new programs to boost organ donation. Alex Tabarrok on paying donors for kidneys, favoritism on waiting lists and the shifting line between life and death.
Harvesting human organs for sale! The idea suggests the lurid world of horror movies and 19th-century graverobbers. Yet right now, Singapore is preparing to pay donors as much as 50,000 Singapore dollars (almost US$36,000) for their organs. Iran has eliminated waiting lists for kidneys entirely by paying its citizens to donate. Israel is implementing a "no give, no take" system that puts people who opt out of the donor system at the bottom of the transplant waiting list should they ever need an organ.
Millions of people suffer from kidney disease, but in 2007 there were just 64,606 kidney-transplant operations in the entire world. In the U.S. alone, 83,000 people wait on the official kidney-transplant list. But just 16,500 people received a kidney transplant in 2008, while almost 5,000 died waiting for one.
To combat yet another shortfall, some American doctors are routinely removing pieces of tissue from deceased patients for transplant without their, or their families', prior consent. And the practice is perfectly legal. In a number of U.S. states, medical examiners conducting autopsies may and do harvest corneas with little or no family notification. (By the time of autopsy, it is too late to harvest organs such as kidneys.) Few people know about routine removal statutes and perhaps because of this, these laws have effectively increased cornea transplants.
Routine removal is perhaps the most extreme response to the devastating shortage of organs world-wide. That shortage is leading some countries to try unusual new methods to increase donation. Innovation has occurred in the U.S. as well, but progress has been slow and not without cost or controversy.
Organs can be taken from deceased donors only after they have been declared dead, but where is the line between life and death? Philosophers have been debating the dividing line between baldness and nonbaldness for over 2,000 years, so there is little hope that the dividing line between life and death will ever be agreed upon. Indeed, the great paradox of deceased donation is that we must draw the line between life and death precisely where we cannot be sure of the answer, because the line must lie where the donor is dead but the donor's organs are not.
In 1968 the Journal of the American Medical Association published its criteria for brain death. But reduced crime and better automobile safety have led to fewer potential brain-dead donors than in the past. Now, greater attention is being given to donation after cardiac death: no heart beat for two to five minutes (protocols differ) after the heart stops beating spontaneously. Both standards are controversial—the surgeon who performed the first heart transplant from a brain-dead donor in 1968 was threatened with prosecution, as have been some surgeons using donation after cardiac death. Despite the controversy, donation after cardiac death more than tripled between 2002 and 2006, when it accounted for about 8% of all deceased donors nationwide. In some regions, that figure is up to 20%.
The shortage of organs has increased the use of so-called expanded-criteria organs, or organs that used to be considered unsuitable for transplant. Kidneys donated from people over the age of 60 or from people who had various medical problems are more likely to fail than organs from younger, healthier donors, but they are now being used under the pressure. At the University of Maryland's School of Medicine five patients recently received transplants of kidneys that had either cancerous or benign tumors removed from them. Why would anyone risk cancer? Head surgeon Dr. Michael Phelan explained, "the ongoing shortage of organs from deceased donors, and the high risk of dying while waiting for a transplant, prompted five donors and recipients to push ahead with surgery." Expanded-criteria organs are a useful response to the shortage, but their use also means that the shortage is even worse than it appears because as the waiting list lengthens, the quality of transplants is falling.
Routine removal has been used for corneas but is unlikely to ever become standard for kidneys, livers or lungs. Nevertheless more countries are moving toward presumed consent. Under that standard, everyone is considered to be a potential organ donor unless they have affirmatively opted out, say, by signing a non-organ-donor card. Presumed consent is common in Europe and appears to raise donation rates modestly, especially when combined, as it is in Spain, with readily available transplant coordinators, trained organ-procurement specialists, round-the-clock laboratory facilities and other investments in transplant infrastructure.
The British Medical Association has called for a presumed consent system in the U.K., and Wales plans to move to such a system this year. India is also beginning a presumed consent program that will start this year with corneas and later expand to other organs. Presumed consent has less support in the U.S. but experiments at the state level would make for a useful test.
Rabbis selling organs in New Jersey? Organ sales from poor Indian, Thai and Philippine donors? Transplant tourism? It's all part of the growing black market in transplants. Already, the black market may account for 5% to 10% of transplants world-wide. If organ sales are voluntary, it's hard to fault either the buyer or the seller. But as long as the market remains underground the donors may not receive adequate postoperative care, and that puts a black mark on all proposals to legalize financial compensation.
Only one country, Iran, has eliminated the shortage of transplant organs—and only Iran has a working and legal payment system for organ donation. In this system, organs are not bought and sold at the bazaar. Patients who cannot be assigned a kidney from a deceased donor and who cannot find a related living donor may apply to the nonprofit, volunteer-run Dialysis and Transplant Patients Association (Datpa). Datpa identifies potential donors from a pool of applicants. Those donors are medically evaluated by transplant physicians, who have no connection to Datpa, in just the same way as are uncompensated donors. The government pays donors $1,200 and provides one year of limited health-insurance coverage. In addition, working through Datpa, kidney recipients pay donors between $2,300 and $4,500. Charitable organizations provide remuneration to donors for recipients who cannot afford to pay, thus demonstrating that Iran has something to teach the world about charity as well as about markets.
The Iranian system and the black market demonstrate one important fact: The organ shortage can be solved by paying living donors. The Iranian system began in 1988 and eliminated the shortage of kidneys by 1999. Writing in the Journal of Economic Perspectives in 2007, Nobel Laureate economist Gary Becker and Julio Elias estimated that a payment of $15,000 for living donors would alleviate the shortage of kidneys in the U.S. Payment could be made by the federal government to avoid any hint of inequality in kidney allocation. Moreover, this proposal would save the government money since even with a significant payment, transplant is cheaper than the dialysis that is now paid for by Medicare's End Stage Renal Disease program.
In March 2009 Singapore legalized a government plan for paying organ donors. Although it's not clear yet when this will be implemented, the amounts being discussed for payment, around $50,000, suggest the possibility of a significant donor incentive. So far, the U.S. has lagged other countries in addressing the shortage, but last year, Sen. Arlen Specter circulated a draft bill that would allow U.S. government entities to test compensation programs for organ donation. These programs would only offer noncash compensation such as funeral expenses for deceased donors and health and life insurance or tax credits for living donors.
World-wide we will soon harvest more kidneys from living donors than from deceased donors. In one sense, this is a great success—the body can function perfectly well with one kidney so with proper care, kidney donation is a low-risk procedure. In another sense, it's an ugly failure. Why must we harvest kidneys from the living, when kidneys that could save lives are routinely being buried and burned? A payment of funeral expenses for the gift of life or a discount on driver's license fees for those who sign their organ donor card could increase the supply of organs from deceased donors, saving lives and also alleviating some of the necessity for living donors.
Two countries, Singapore and Israel, have pioneered nonmonetary incentives systems for potential organ donors. In Singapore anyone may opt out of its presumed consent system. However, those who opt out are assigned a lower priority on the transplant waiting list should they one day need an organ, a system I have called "no give, no take."
Many people find the idea of paying for organs repugnant but they do accept the ethical foundation of no give, no take—that those who are willing to give should be the first to receive. In addition to satisfying ethical constraints, no give, no take increases the incentive to sign one's organ donor card thereby reducing the shortage. In the U.S., Lifesharers.org, a nonprofit network of potential organ donors (for which I am an adviser), is working to implement a similar system.
In Israel a more flexible version of no give, no take will be phased into place beginning this year. In the Israeli system, people who sign their organ donor cards are given points pushing them up the transplant list should they one day need a transplant. Points will also be given to transplant candidates whose first-degree relatives have signed their organ donor cards or whose first-degree relatives were organ donors. In the case of kidneys, for example, two points (on a 0- to 18-point scale) will be given if the candidate had three or more years previous to being listed signed their organ card. One point will be given if a first-degree relative has signed and 3.5 points if a first-degree relative has previously donated an organ.
The world-wide shortage of organs is going to get worse before it gets better, but we do have options. Presumed consent, financial compensation for living and deceased donors and point systems would all increase the supply of transplant organs. Too many people have died already but pressure is mounting for innovation that will save lives.

By default, a user's policy settings come from the set of GPOs that are applied to the user object in Active Directory. However, in the View environment, GPOs should apply to users based on the computer they log in to.
When you enable loopback processing, a consistent set of policies applies to all users that log in to a particular computer, regardless of their location in Active Directory.
See the Microsoft Active Directory documentation for information on enabling loopback processing.
Loopback processing is only one approach to handling GPOs in View. You might need to implement a different approach.

Clean Hydrogen Partnership selects 15 regions to further develop their hydrogen projects
The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has selected 15 regions to receive support in the framework of the latest Project Development Assistance (PDA) initiative.
The regions are from a total of ten different countries, including from the Central and Eastern European region and have been selected following a two-stage application and evaluation process. Among them, the Estonian islands and the city of Tartu; the region of Peloponnese, in Greece; Riga, in Latvia; the city of Płock and the Podkarpackie Region in Poland; Cluj-Napoca and the municipality of Galati in Romania; Slovakia's Košice Self-Governing Region; and the Central Sava Region and Velenje, in Slovenia.
The projects proposed by the regions cover a wide range of hydrogen applications, from hydrogen buses in the cities to ferries that connect island communities as well as industrial applications such as glass manufacturing.
The selected regions will now receive targeted support from dedicated hydrogen consultants, beginning in early 2023. This will allow these regions to further develop their project plans, thus advancing the deployment of fuel cell and hydrogen technology in Europe, particularly in areas that have seen limited hydrogen deployments to date.
The initiative will also deliver a wider impact in other regions beyond the 15 selected, through the planned "Observer Network" activities that will be run throughout 2023.

Do Real Estate Signs Make a Difference in Front of Your Home?
Is it really that important to have a sign in the yard when you consider today's Internet market?
Probably not. However, I'd venture to guess that it will serve as a very good reflection of the type of property management company you may want to work with. For example, at RentWerx San Antonio our signs are very good and we're proud to show these signs off. We use hard metal signs with sturdy metal frames. The signs include our website and they also have a QR code. This tells people we have pride in our work and we're willing to produce a high quality sign to put in your yard.
Other companies I've seen have smaller For Rent signs or signs that resemble those For Sale by Owner signs. They are considerably lighter and pretty tiny. They're also made of plastic and they have a stick instead of a frame. These signs might cost $4 or $5 to make. We pay around $35 per sign, and we're willing to make that investment because we think they look good and serve an excellent purpose. When we put them in front of your property, we know they reflect on your house and on us as a company. It gives a great first impression to someone who may consider renting your home.
It's very important to highlight the website. By listing the site on the sign, prospective tenants can reference it right away. They can even access our site and take a look at your home listing right then and there, while they're standing in front of the property or driving by it. They can get more information about how the inside looks and review details before making an appointment to see it.
At RentWerx San Antonio, our signs are a step above the rest. We think it's important to represent ourselves and your property well. We would love to put one of our signs in your rental property's yard, so contact us about our services. We look forward to talking with you.

Q: Interceptor doesn't add header to get request I made this interceptor:
import {
    HttpEvent,
    HttpInterceptor,
    HttpHandler,
    HttpRequest,
} from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

export class AddHeaderInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
    intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
        // Clone the request to add the new header
        if (req.url.includes('GetFriend')){
        req = req.clone({
            setHeaders: {
                'Content-Type' : 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
                'Accept'       : 'application/json',
                'Authorization': `Bearer ${sessionStorage.getItem("token")}`
                }
        });

        return next.handle(req);
    }

        return next.handle(req);
    }
}

This provider:
providers: [
    { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: AddHeaderInterceptor, multi: true },
],

And that's the get request, that needs the header:
this.http.get('http://localhost:52575/api/account/GetFriends').subscribe((res: FriendsList)=>{
    this.friends = res;
});

I looked at Fiddler, what packages I send to server, there aren't any information about added headers and server send me this error "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized":

Plaça de Jean Genet is a small, triangle-shaped square in Barcelona (the capital of Catalonia in Spain). It's located in the southern side of El Raval, by the port and Avinguda de les Drassanes and the Catalan Gothic buildings of the Royal Shipyard, in the district of Ciutat Vella. Its main feature is the functionalist high-rise which hosts the local Official School of Languages. It is named after French author Jean Genet who resided in the city for a time and whose novel The Thief's Journal takes place in the poverty-stricken alleys of Raval. Essayist Lluís Permanyer proposed the name in 1997.

Transport
Barcelona Metro station Drassanes is not far away. It's served by line L3.
